Analese’s Product Management Qualifications
Experience level: Product Manager
Welcome to my profile, happy to have you here! With extensive experience as a Staff Product Manager at leading tech companies like Foxglove, Aurora, and Intuit, I have collaborated with engineering, design, data scientists, tax attorneys, customer success and everyone in between to deliver products and functionality that solve impactful problems for our customers and provide value for our company. If you are interested in breaking into the robotics industry, at Aurora, I went from having no knowledge of robotics or autonomous vehicle systems to being the product lead for a large chunk of Aurora's autonomous vehicle system development tooling suite and leading the creation of groundbreaking tools to solve problems that no one has had to solve before. I have a proven track record of delivering 0-to-1 products, scaling existing solutions, and becoming a domain expert in different areas, which makes me well-equipped to support aspiring PMs in achieving their career goals. Happy to connect and see how I can help you succeed in product management!

Work Experience
Staff Product Manager
Foxglove
February 2026 - Present
I currently work at Foxglove at the product lead for their Visualization tool, which helps robotics companies visualize, analyze, and debug their system behavior. I also work on Data Curation and Search, which enables finding interesting pieces of data and curating them for evaluation, verification and validation, and model development.
Staff Product Manager
Aurora
March 2024 - January 2026
Hiring Manager
I was the product lead for a majority of internal tooling at Aurora, including their primary visualization tool, Lightbox. Over the course of my time at Aurora, we inherited and built several tools, such that by the time I left, I was responsible for a suite of 8 products serving various aspects of autonomy development. In this role, I worked across several functions and teams with 20+ engineers and 3 designers to deliver 4 0-to-1 products that increased development efficiency via time-savings and helped the company scale by enabling our existing workforce to produce more data in the same amount of time. We also built first-of-its-kind software for validation and verification of autonomous vehicle system behavior. Additionally, I hired a PM to work on my direct team and had another direct report who already worked at the company but joined my team after a reorg.
Senior Product Manager
Aurora
September 2022 - February 2024
Interviewer
I was hired to be the product lead for Visualization, which entailed primarily Lightbox, Aurora's flagship visualization tool, when I joined. This role entailed understanding the workflows for Triage, Labeling, Autonomy Developers, and Autonomy Leadership to build functionality into Lightbox that helped achieve our company goals of launching fully autonomous semi-trucks using the Aurora Driver on our Dallas to Houston route, which we achieved in April 2025.
Product Manager
Intuit
August 2018 - September 2022
Interviewer
In this role, I was the product lead for the Automatic Sales Tax Engine in QuickBooks Online. I led a team of 20 Software Engineers to build out the sales tax capability by deeply understanding our customers, the domain, and the technology behind the capability. I also collaborated across functions, teams, and platforms - working with developers, designers, tax attorneys, data scientists, ML engineers, data analysts, and customer success agents to launch new features in E-commerce, banking, invoicing, and Point-of-Sale, across web and mobile. I defined and drove the strategy for the sales tax capability in collaboration with cross-functional leaders and identified needs of both internal and third-party developers while developing a new tax computation service to address core use cases and eliminated the need for client-side calculation logic. Additional, I gained experience with SQL/Amazon Athena pulling customer/product data for analysis and prioritization and provided user interface design mockups in Figma in order to fill gaps for my team.
Product Management Intern
Intuit
June 2017 - September 2017
As a product management intern, I built and launched a Facebook Messenger Marketing chatbot using Chatfuel, a self-serve chatbot creation tool, as a beta test.
Residential Counselor
Stanford Consulting
June 2016 - August 2016
As a Residential Counselor, I was responsible for handling medical and safety issues and ensuring compliance with rules and guidelines for 100 of the 1,500 high school students ages 14-17 participating in the institutes. I was also selected to be a teaching assistant for a Visual Arts and Design course and an Architecture, Drawing and Design course.
